Not sure Shalimar wants to bond an Asha'man.

Well, there's precedent.

Of course, if Prophecies doesn't ship this week, I'm going to have to come up with a 'tweener' adventure for you, I think.

Were Ash not a channeler, he'd be Sirsei's first choice. Considering how the bond works differently between men and women who can channel, I can't see her being too happy when he realizes that he can channel.

I think that's going to be very interesting anyway. LOL

Are we that close to the end of the mod in the book? seems kinda anti-climatic so far.

Actually it would work well. She wouldn't be able to boss him around through Compulsion. Ash wouldn't be able to tolerate that anyway. If she could smooth him over enough to do it willingly....

What about a shared bond? To my knowledge, nothing says a man can't learn the warder bond. The Asha'man have something like it for their wives already.

Figure that Amazon.com standard shipping takes a few days to get to San Diego, and that you're about halfway through the adventure.

Ahh, mail order . I'm lucky enough to get between 10 and 20% off any thing i buy where i shop, plus no wait for shipping.

while on the subject of multi-classing, i don't know if i said it before but, i do plan on multi-classing to armsmen. PrC i had orginally thought about working towards thief taker, but i don't think i will. I probably won't bother with PrC at all really, and i'm pretty sure no one in thier right mind would want jain for a warder. Any way just thought i'd give a heads up, for future refurance.

Well, should Pedron reform his ways and decide he'd rather catch thieves than be one, he might become a thief-taker. Meanwhile, he has no intention of becoming a soldier (armsman), but he has nothing against spending time alone in the woods (woodsman). He's done a bit of that already on his way to Caemlyn.

As for Blademaster, that's a tough one. I guess I view the Blademaster as sort of a specialist, the type who'd take feats like Weapon Focus, Weapon Specialization, Improved Critical, and Weapon Finesse (if available) all with his sword. Stack onto that Superior Weapon Focus (+1 Attack) and the Superior Weapon Specialization I've seen on some player-made PrC's (+1 Attack, +1 Damage), and you have someone who's absolutely deadly with a single weapon type. Granted, Yuri has more strength than dexterity, so he probably wouldn't want finesse. (As a side not, it'd be nice if finesse had a follow-up feat, something to represent the speed of light weapons, like Rapid Shot for melee weapons.) I suppose I would expect a Blademaster to have some of the other Combat feats as well, like Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Whirlwind. I think most of those are already prereqs for the class. And the class grants a lot of the specialization feats as well. It's things like the 30x a day Parting the Silk that I find questionable.

Which would be handy, as the only way the party has of tracking someone right now is to hope Lila is with them to weave Trace.

That's my basic problem. And really, if it were a 10th-level ability and 'at will', I wouldn't mind that. It's just that anything you can use more than 5 times a day is pretty much an 'at will' ability, and I think the x times/day/level blademaster abilities are too powerful to be 'at will' at the level they're at.

I had considered taking a level of Armsman next level.

I havn't decided whether or not I'm ready to start channeling yet.
